Bat-Shit Crazy Trailer for Takashi Miike's YAKUZA APOCALYPSE!
Stop what you’re doing now and watch this insane trailer for Takashi Miike's new film Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War of the Underworld. The story follows a young Yakuza foot soldier whose boss is killed by an assassin. He then sets out on a dangerous mission of revenge that takes him into a seedy underworld. What takes this concept to a crazy level is the fact that the boss was a vampire, and he turned the hero into a creature of the night before he died. This thing looks like an amazingly wild and entertaining flick!
Akira (Hayato Ichihara) admires Genyo Kamiura who is the most powerful yakuza. Genyo Kamiura has been targeted numerous times, but has never died. He is called the invincible person.
Because of Genyo Kamiura, Akira enters the world of the yakuza. His yakuza colleagues treats him like an idiot, Akira can't even get tattoos because of his sensitive skin. Akira becomes disappointed in the yakuza world, because it's not like what he say in the movies. Especially, in terms of loyalty and charity depicted of the yakuza.
An assassin is then sent to take out Genyo Kamiura. The killers know that Genyo Kamiura is a vampire.
The movie is set to be released on June 20th, and hopefully it makes its way here to the states. Oh! It also stars Yayan Ruhianthe, who kicked some major ass in The Raid films. You'll see him in the trailer.
